While working on the PR (#33962) for adding nrows to read_json it was seen that maybe the chunksize parameter for read_json is not doing its task. ASV benchmarks were carried out but as this issue is not related to the PR we decided to create a new issue for it

I'm having the same issue with pandas==1.1.0 and downgraded to pandas==1.0.0 in order to get a usable JsonReader.
